Responsibility to Yourself

Think about these questions. Are you physically prepared for the terrain where you will hunt? Have you scouted the area where you will hunt? Do you have a map and compass, and do you know how to use them? Is all of your hunting gear in order?

Have you told people exactly where you will be hunting and when you will be returning? Did you leave behind a map or other details of your hunt in case somebody needs to contact you? Be prepared!
